The Coal Miner's Daughter...oh, pleeeease

Have you seen the clips from Ann's appearance tonight on NBC....the interview with Moralles (sp?)? She is in Wales and the whole crap about her forefathers coming from there and worked in those horrible mines, blah, blah! That little asshat never saw poverty or hard work or any work in her life! Bet you she was there to film some crap for the convention where she will be introduced as some sort of coal miner's daughter. Also, talk about saying stuff the wingers don't like. For example her remark that Mitt couldn't do this without her, etc. She is suppose to be home baking cookies, I believe! And, indeed, the ambition just reeks from her. In fact for someone with MS and not suppose to get stressed, her ambition and greed are so great that she will even squander her health to get it. Greed and ambition are her greatest diseases.

if being a "job creator" is so noble, why do they all need to claim working class roots? HiPointDem Aug 2012 #1

I believe it's in the "Con Job 101" play book. You snuggle up to people and tell them you are one of them. And then when they smile, you reach in and dig the gold out of their teeth with one hand and their wallet out of their pocket with the other.

While many have thought Willard to be the lying weasel he is, the general public and the corporate media, in specific, gave a free pass to Mrs. Moneybags. She seemed genuine and was a cancer and MS survivor...noble and possibly inspiring. They overlooked her pampered lifestyle and even defended her when attacked by Hillary Rosen for never working a day in her life. How the worm is starting to turn. Her defense of keeping tax records secret reveal the nasty side that lies just below the surface. As is stated, you see the ambition that demands rather than earns respect. Her vaneer is wearing off as her greed and lack of compassion is shown to match that of her soul-less husband.
